The MindSpot Clinic: Telephone and internet-delivered psychological assessment and treatment for Australians with symptoms of anxiety and depression

The MindSpot Clinic is national mental health service that provides telephone and internet assessment and treatment of Australians with anxiety or depression. Prospective participants and/or inquiries can be made via the website: mindspot.org.au MindSpot treatment courses comprise 5 lessons which are provided online, electronically, or sent via post. Mode of administration is based on participant preference. Lessons describe evidence-based cognitive behavioural and interpersonal therapy strategies for managing cognitive, behavioural, and physical symptoms of anxiety and low mood. One lesson will be completed every 1 to 3 weeks. Each lesson will take about 15 minutes to read. Participants will also have access to summaries of each lesson, and will read anonymous stories about other people with anxiety and low mood, taking a further 20 minutes per week. All participants will also receive 10-20 automatic emails to promote adherence and engagement, and at least weekly written or telephone contact from a therapist at the MindSpot Clinic.
